Abstract:
La invencion describe un proceso para la produccion de estructuras de marco diseñadas como perfiles metálicos para tubos de rayos catodicos y es particularmenteutil en la produccion de cinescopios y monitores. La produccion de estructuras sin terminar se realiza al soldar al menos dos componentes de inicio, seguido por la formacion, en donde los componentes de inicio diseñados como superficies planas se colocan y fijan en sus posiciones, de una manera tal que los bordes de los componentes de inicio que se van a soldar entre en contacto, directo; seguido por la soldadura de las uniones de los componentes de inicio con al menos un haz de láser; y subsecuentemente procesar de manera convencional la estructura sin terminar producida usando al menos dos costuras de soldadura al prensar y/o troquelar. El haz de láser se genera usando un láser de gas de CO2 o un láser de componentes solidos de Nd: YAG.
Abstract:
A method of making sub-micron low work function field emission tips (32, 66) without using photolithography. The method includes physical vapor deposition of randomly located discrete nuclei to form a discontinuous etch mask (20, 50). In one embodiment an etch is applied to low work function material (14) covered by randomly located nuclei to form emission tips (32) in the low work function material (14). In another embodiment an etch is applied to base material (44) covered by randomly located nuclei to form tips (58) in the base material (44) which are then coated with low work function material (60) to form emission tips (66). Diamond is the preferred low work function material (14, 60).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a reusable factory fixture frame (82) and process for using same in the manufacture of a color cathode ray tube (20) having a flat faceplate (24) and a tensed foil shadow mask (50). The frame provides for mounting an in-process shadow mask during photoexposure of an in-process faceplate in a lighthouse (122). The frame (82) comprises generally rectangular frame means and quick-release mechanical mask-retaining means (88) for temporarily and removably supporting an in-process shadow mask in tension. The frame (82) includes a generally rectangular frame structure having grooves (24) thereabout for receiving an edge (26) of the shadow mask. The mask retaining means (88) may comprise spring-loaded mechanical mask-retaining devices (18) which are secured to the side of the factory fixture frame or quick-release mechanical spring clips (34) for temporarily and removably supporting the in-process shadow mask in tension in the grooves. Alternatively at least one elongate rod-like (28) member extending lengthwise of and complementarily mating with the grooves in the frame structure may be employed for temporarily and removably supporting an in-process shadow mask in tension. The shadow mask is heated and allowed to expand prior to being temporarily and removably supported on the frame, and the shadow mask is allowed to cool and shrink in tension while so being supported to effect tensing of the shadow mask in clamped condition on the frame. Preferably, the frame has at least first six-point indexing means (132) on a first side (84) for registration with complementary registration-affording means (134) on an exposure lighthouse (122), and second six-point indexing means (136) on a second, opposed side (118) for registration with complementary registration-affording means (138) on an in-process faceplate (120). As a result, the in-process shadow mask can be precisely registered and re-registered with the lighthouse (122) and the in-process faceplate (120) for the photoexposure of the in-process faceplate while retaining the in-process shadow mask in tension.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of separating caps from gas discharge lamps with a glass bulb, in particular from rod-shaped fluorescent tubes, and a device for carrying out this method. A number of methods are already known for separating caps from a glass bulb; however, the disadvantage with these known methods is that the separation of the caps is very time-consuming and so the throughput of gas discharge lamps to be disposed of is low. The object of the invention is therefore to develop a method and device for separating caps from gas discharge lamps such that the throughput of gas discharge lamps for the purposes of disposal and re-cycling can be considerably increased. The invention solves this technical problem by the features of claim 1 and in particular in that the separating device can burn a hole in the glass bulb using an electrically generated plasma flame at a predetermined location.
Abstract:
The television tube (1) is scored all around in the area between the front screen (2) and the cone (3) and subsequently stimulated to produce mechanical vibrations, preferably in the region of the scored groove (6a, 6b) so that the front screen (2) is separated along the circulating scored groove (6a, 6b) from the cone (3). It is also advantageous for forces (F) to be introduced into the scored groove (6a, 6b).
